Space Colony

Die Menschheit hat sich über die gesamte Galaxis ausgebreitet, doch Frieden gibt es nur aufgrund des fragilen Gleichgewichts der miteinander konkurrierenden Fraktionen. Für dieses Gleichgewicht sorgen die ‚Anima‘, mächtige, als unbesiegbar geltende Kriegsschiffe, die von ihren Kommandanten Kraft ihrer Gedanken gesteuert werden. Eines Tages stößt der Pilot Matthew River während einer unfreiwilligen Expedition auf das einzige Anima, das jemals verloren gegangen ist: Es taucht wie aus dem Nichts in einer entlegenen Region des Alls auf – und birgt ein schreckliches Geheimnis.

The ends justify the means - except when humanity’s survival is on the line. Earth’s landscape lies scorched by weapons fire after the most recent round of alien attacks. The technology the Mozari left behind has advanced scientific understanding at breakneck speeds, giving humanity the chance to fight back against their Gresian foes. Spaceworthy vessels and all-new weaponry are pumped out of orbiting factories, boarded by the brightest minds to begin colonizing new planets. But humanity is still vulnerable. The return of the Gresians isn’t just inevitable. It’s imminent.

Die Erde der Zukunft ist durch die Große Katastrophe von ihren ehemaligen Kolonien abgeschnitten worden. Captain William Sparhawk von der Sternengarde soll als Kommandant der Defiant, dem gigantischen Schlachtkreuzer der Beta-Kolonisten, den er zur Erde zurückgebracht hat, zu einer brisanten Mission aufbrechen: die verloren geglaubten Sternensysteme der ehemaligen Kolonien erkunden und neue Handelsbeziehungen anknüpfen. Die Kolonisten, auf die sie treffen, scheinen allerdings wenig erpicht auf den erneuten Aufbau friedlicher Handelsbeziehungen mit der Erde, so dass Sparhawk und seine Crew sich immer wieder in Kampfhandlungen verwickelt sehen.

We expected Mars to be an escape, not a trap. A crimson, blasted, frigid trap. Maybe humans were lucky to leave Earth as cowards...or maybe they should have died trying to save it from the aliens. Because what's now arrived on this red rock may be worse than death. Aliens destroyed humanity and seized Earth. Now they have sent a terrible, unstoppable disease to the last human outposts on Mars. The doomsday clock is ticking and only criminal archaeologist Ozzy Mack can decipher the clues buried in the ancient Martian ruins...clues to the cure and the salvation of humankind.

Earth builds her first war fleet! The greatest warships ever constructed in known space rise up one by one, soon dominating our skies. They strike fear into the hearts of every citizen and rebel colonist alike.
